The joke is about how a parent's past mistakes make them view their child's behavior in a more forgiving light. It's a self-deprecating way of saying, 'I've messed up so much, my kid is actually doing okay.' The humor comes from the contrast between reflecting on past errors and then the unexpected comparison to a child's behavior.
